Oh, in the meadow a red viburnum has bent down low,For some reason, our glorious Ukraine is in sorrow.And we'll take that red viburnum and we will raise it up,And we shall cheer for our glorious Ukraine, hey, hey!And we shall cheer for our glorious Ukraine, hey, hey!
: The track is based on the 1914 Ukrainian patriotic anthem "Oh, the Red Viburnum in the Meadow" ( Oi u luzi chervona kalyna ), which was the anthem of the Ukrainian Sich Riflemen.
: David Gilmour was inspired to create the track to support Ukraine following the 2022 Russian invasion. All proceeds from the single are donated to the Ukraine Humanitarian Relief Fund .

Ой у лузі червона калина похилиласяЧогось наша славна Україна зажуриласяА ми тую червону калину підіймемоА ми нашу славну Україну, гей-гей, розвеселимо!А ми нашу славну Україну, гей-гей, розвеселимо! Гей-гей!
